Chapter 559: Heartache, Silence
This pain, apart from enduring it, there were no other choices.
The anesthetic could no longer be used, and overuse of that stuff would only do harm to the body. Naturally, he didn’t want the doctor to inject her with it.
But seeing the pain in her brows, he found it hard to bear.
His large hand gently brushed her porcelain-like cheek, hoping to alleviate some of her pain. However, he was very clear that this would not have any effect at all.
Bella Stuart was also beside him, her heart wrenched. It was a gunshot wound, and the thought of taking out the bullet from deep inside the flesh was frightening even just to consider.
“Brother, should we still inject a bit of anesthetic?” She really couldn’t bear it. This was too pitiful.
“No need.” Baron Stuart rejected outright.
An anesthetic could only provide relief for hours, once the time wore off, the pain still remained. Moreover, it could even cause varying degrees of harm to the body, thus there was absolutely no need for it.
Bella Stuart also knew that it was best to use less anesthetic, but seeing the person in the hospital bed, she just couldn’t bear it.
Feeling the pain in her back, Emily Walker’s consciousness gradually sharpened. Once opening her eyes, she saw the handsome and worried face in front of her.
The scene before she fainted flashed again in her mind. Seeing that the man in front of her was safe and sound, Emily Walker’s heart finally settled.
She had thought that she was going to die, but it seemed that her life was spared.
Looking at her slowly opening eyes, apart from the slight hidden pain in his eyes, there was no other emotion visible on Baron Stuart’s calm face.
His thumb was gently rubbing her cheek, while his heart was churning.
He slowly lowered his head, placing his forehead between her brows, his handsome eyes closed as if feeling her existence.
At the instant she was shot, how terrified he was, fearing that she would never wake up.
“Are you a fool.” His forehead, resting against her brows, he spoke after a very long silence, his voice becoming slightly hoarse.
When he opened his eyes again, his starry eyes were gradually stained with a hint of moist red.
Bella Stuart, who had been standing aside, was feeling for the first time that her brother’s voice was choked up because of a woman…
Emily Walker obviously didn’t notice the faint redness in Baron Stuart’s eyes, because, at this time, she was in so much pain that she simply couldn’t concentrate on anything else.
Hearing her moaning, Baron Stuart then lifted his forehead from between her brows and looked at her with concern.
“Bear with it a bit more.” Apart from this sentence, he didn’t know what else to say to alleviate her pain.
Pain from a gunshot wound takes at least more than a week to subside. Only then would the pain in her back gradually lessen.
Bella Stuart, who was standing on the side, could not help speaking up. “Emily, you were shot in the back. The doctor said that anesthetic could no longer be used, so you can only endure it.”
If it was her, she’d probably be driven mad by the pain, perhaps even preferring to die rather than endure this torture. It was unbearable!
Hearing Bella Stuart’s words, Emily Walker frowned even more tightly. How long would she have to endure this pain?
Emily Walker and Angela Reid were in the same hospital.
Every time Vivian Ferguson visited her, she would occasionally bring up Emily Walker, and naturally, Angela Reid also found out about Emily Walker’s hospitalization due to a gunshot wound.
